  1. I have posted this story before.

    Best seats I ever lucked into, two rows behind the on deck circle. Rickey, leading off, comes out to limber up. Behind me are two very attractive ladies and they are impressed with Rickey.

    “He’s got a great ass!” cheers one of the ladies behind me.

    A few innings later, Rickey’s back in the on-deck circle. Limbering up, stretching. The ladies are again admiring his derrière.

    Rickey, mid-stretch, with his back to the ladies, bent over, turns his head back to the stands and says “you ladies are correct: Rickey **does** have a great ass.”

    Rickey then went to the plate, drew a walk, stole second, and came around to score on a single. As he crossed the plate, he winked at the fans.

    A remarkable baseball talent, I got the full Rickey experience that day. Rickey had a great ass, knew he had a great ass, and could manufacture runs with nothing but his great ass.

    Rickey was awesome. RIP.

  2. Lol Rickey running across that ugly turf looks like he’s in front of a greenscreen in the thumbnail.

  3. I used to copy his arms placements when taking a lead and the way he grabs his shoulder sleeve. RIP.
